Dean and Justin - "Go Tarheels!"
The Milne's and the The Byers
The Milnes with the Wards ... and Alex 
Dean and Gavin - best pals 
Our attention this week has been on our Big Move. We've been here in our current home for 7 years. We have a lot of sweet memories and things we're really going to miss when we leave. Our packers come tomorrow, but we're still not sure when our home goods will be delivered - praying for Saturday (not standard).

Top 5 "Really Gonna Miss" List
5- Hosting Parties, Bible studies, holiday dinners
4- Houseguests - Noemi (over a year), Kim and Emily (6 months), Aaron (a few weeks), the Alexanders, the Walshes, the Thiesings, and our family members.
3- Our huge patio - now bike race track
2- Being really close to Busch Gardens/Water Country - Jacob's happy place.
1- Our friends who have become our family. I have memories of struggling through a study of Hebrews with other women, doing a Bible study for married couples, raising children with my best friends, laughing and crying with them, going for walks and comparing mommy notes.
We had a wonderful going away cook-out at our house on Sunday night. There were so many children and adults there! It was a fun farewell! Special thanks to the Bradys, the Byers, the Gabberts, the Wards and the Scotts for organizing and providing food for the party! And many thanks to all who came out! We love you!

We hope you know what a blessing your family has been. You're family is one of those whom we have missed the most since moving away. I pray that God will use you in the same way in your new home. You are wonderful examples of God's love and his plan for what Christians should be, not perfect just growing in HIM and willing to follow as HE leads.
You guys are awesome...we loved our stay with you nearly 6 years ago! Who knows you may have us as house guests in a couple of months :) I pray your household good arrive quickly and that you guys can get settled in and loving your new home that you will make lots of new memories in!
Your movers are packing more than household goods into your boxes today-they are packing sweet memories of those you have come to love in Newport News that you will cherish for years to come. Looking forward to being your neighbors if only for a couple of weeks. :) Love Mom/Nana
It seems like only yesterday that you were moving from Charleston to Newport News. Though we're sorry you're not gonna be living in South Carolina (specifically Rock Hill), we're thrilled you won't really be any farther away from us. Here's praying for a smooth move and trouble-free settling into your new home. Can't wait to see you all. Love, Mom
I guess we now know who we can trust(or not) with our chiled.... years of built-up trust, torn down with one picture.... rookie mistake on my end..

I love you guys but have to agree with Josh. You think you can trust people these days and then a picture like that arises. Good thing I didn't know about that pictue on Thursday or Jacob and Zach would have been dressed in orange and maroon from head to toe :)
We really are going to miss you all. Don't be strangers.
